Watch movies & TV offline

You can download movies and TV shows on Android mobile devices, iOS mobile devices, and Chromebooks, so you can watch them using the Google Play Movies & TV app without a Wi-Fi or mobile data connection.

Offline viewing on multiple devices

You can download purchased movies and shows on up to five devices using the same account. If you want to download a video to a sixth device, you'll need to remove all your downloaded content from one of the first five devices. Here's how:

Depending on your mobile data plan, downloading your video when not connected to Wi-Fi may result in additional charges. By default, videos download on Wi-Fi only. If you wish to download using your mobile network:

Open the Google Play Movies & TV app .

Touch the Menu icon > Settings > Network > Download on any network.

Note: If mobile data isn't available on your device, you won't see this option.

On Android

On certain devices, you can choose to download videos to internal storage or an SD card in the app's Settings menu by touching Storage.

Note: Videos downloaded to an SD card can't be transferred to another device.

On an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Visit your device's main Settings menu.

Touch General.

Once a video has been downloaded, it's stored in your device's local storage and cannot be moved to an SD card or other external storage.

Notes:

Movies and TV shows purchased on Google Play cannot be downloaded to Android TVs or computers, except for Chromebooks.

When you download a video that's available in multiple languages, you can choose to play the video in its original language or your language (when available). You can't change the audio language once the video has been downloaded.
